Event Date: 19/11/2010

Great Britain's best known female boxers, Marianne 'Golden Girl' Marston and Angel 'The Artist' McKenzie battled it out at The Body Shop on Thursday, 18th November, for a 2010 Christmas Promo. All the action was caught on camera by WinkBall video reporters who undertook interviews with Ultrachem TKO Gym regulars such as, former Olympian Billy Joe Saunders and New York Golden Gloves champion Mitchell Balker. The Promo is set to the background of the Christmas carol 'Joy to the World,' and celebrates all things distinctly London so expect to see iconic backdrops featuring quintessentially English characters. Following the girls previous session in Carnaby Street a few weeks ago, the girls have brought nationwide attention to female boxing as a new Olympic sport.
